Strivers Radio 2/23 + 3/2

Denzil — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:52:35 +0000

After taking a week off from the broadcast and podcast, Strivers Radio quietly returned February 23 to discuss Ras Kass’ attempt at generating revenue through direct fan contribution. We discussed the differences and similarities between Ras Kass’ and Public Enemy’s approaches, “the balls on Limewire” and more.

This past Tuesday (3/2) we extended our love and support for rapper Guru of Gang Starr, who is recovering from a heart attack suffered last weekend. This took precedence to kicking around the implications of Music Mastermind, which has raised a nearly $5 million production budget despite being relatively tight-lipped to the public.

Feel free to join live us next week and every Tuesday at 1PM EST. Call us on-air at (347) 857-2895 or visit the show page, which also apparently boasts a swanky live chat room we’ll utilize in coming episodes.

Strivers Radio 2/9/10 – The Sean Price Experiment

Denzil — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:22:37 +0000

We discussed the implications of Duck Down recording artist Sean Price’s novel fan outreach and request for support. The hip-hop veteran will host a New York City performance that doubles as a baby shower for his unborn daughter, Shaun Price.

Check out the podcast for our thoughts on Price’s strategy. Feel free to chime in right here on the blog. Oh, yeah. We also talk about Hootie and the Blowfish for a little while at the beginning. Consider yourself warned.

Strivers Radio – 2/2/10 – Grammys for the People?

Denzil — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:47:28 +0000

Today’s episode of Strivers Radio finds Heather and I discussing Sunday night’s Grammy broadcast.

We both watched most of the awards and assess the broadcast’s highs and lows. However, today’s podcast is not so much a recap as it is a discussion about:

The Grammy nomination and voting process
How indie artists can affect the Grammy outlook
Taylor Swift, of course

Enjoy. Feel free to chime in here. Give us a shout LIVE next week if you are so inclined.

Strivers Radio Returns Tuesday, 12/15 1PM EST

Denzil — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 18:36:22 +0000

Hey, everyone.

As you may have noticed, we haven’t had an episode of the Strivers Media show/podcast in a while. It’s been a long time. We shouldn’t have left you without some good blogs to step to. We can assure you that the hiatus will have been worthwhile. Strivers Radio returns tomorrow (12/15/09) at 1PM EST. We’ll be discussing the best ways to share your music with the public.

That’s right. We’ve got a new day, new guests and even more goodies for the artist community we so proudly serve. Check out our show’s profile and call in live during the broadcast.

Talk to you tomorrow!
